eager and active participants. Instr. Palma was always on the rescue of members who were lost along the
way, be it in the forgotten formula or “misinterpretation” of the result. The output was then presented to the
group for critiquing. Clarifications were raised, queries answered, suggestions noted, opinions laid, reactions
counter-reacted, sentiments catered, and from the looks of it, generally, the enthusiasm to learn and the
appreciation of the newly acquired knowledge dominate the humid air of the cramped function room. The
morning session ended with a collective agreement that item analysis is an effective tool towards the
standardization of classroom examinations. A certificate of recognition was awarded to Mr. Palma by Dr.
